Gotye announces huge Decembertour

After conquering the world with his ubiquitous hit Somebody That I Used To Know, Gotye aka ‘Our Wally’ is heading back home for a draw-droppingly huge tour this December – right in time to headline one or two summer festivals no doubt.

In an interview with triple j Breakfast this morning Wally announced the quick run of shows and revealed he will be backed by a 10-piece band.

Speaking with FL on the release of Making Mirrors Wally opened up about the inspiration for his new album and ‘That Song’, “I think all the album is very personal, more so than anything on my previous records. It’s really not so much me playing a character…that being said, Somebody That I Used To Know is not a direct relationship experience. It’s based on things I’ve definitely felt and thought about before in relationships, but there is also an element of fiction to it”.

Tickets for Gotye will go on sale to members of his mailing list and Gotye Facebook friends from 2pm Friday, June 22nd (local times). Remaining tickets will then go on sale to the general public from 9am on Wednesday June 27th.

'To all y’all long-time listeners, the guys in the band and I are working on a bunch of older songs for upcoming shows- lots of folks were asking for tracks from Boardface and Like Drawing Blood that we haven’t played live before.'

muuuuuuuuuch better. the absense of Puzzle with a Piece Missing irked me. Might just have to go to this one now.

saw him at the nokia theatre in los angeles 2 months ago for $49 (incl. booking fees). this was the week after he hit #1 on the billboard top 100. gotta love how it costs almost double ($89 incl. booking fees) to see him in his native country.

they always use excuses for international acts who come here like, "it costs more to fly them and their equipment all the way over here", but seriously in a situation like this there really is no excuse. all it does is prove once again how we are being charged way too much for gigs in general.

it's a shame choice magazine didn't cover this in their latest issue, as their article on ticketek/ticketmaster booking fees seemed to attract a decent amount of attention.
